Day Seven- Mercy for Glory 24:01.02

This is the reason for every- thing This is the reason that creation sings Goal of the universe, goal of my soul Invited to worship His name we extol!

(Refrain) Glory be to God Glory be to God Glory be to God Most High Glory be to God Glory be to God Lord your name we magnify.

We get mercy God gets Glory For this purpose we are saved Of His mercies Tell the story To the end of His glory's praise

Christ has come to Show God's glory In order that the world may see So glorify His name That's the reason he came That grace might show its victory!

So he will come again Heaven's glory shall descend Shining brightly from his face All his saints will be arrayed With His glory be displayed To the praise of His glory and His Grace!

(Refrain- repeat as long as the Spirit moves you)

Day Six Wood, Hay, and Stubble 23:01.02

I am a pilgrim and a stranger A sojourner walking a pathway of danger A citizen of a city above Nothing on earth can compete with this love Nothing of earth can compete with this love.

What need have I of temporary crowns When the most precious one is the one I'll cast down At the feet of my Lord when I bow at His throne. There in the place where I'll know as I'm known There in the place where I'll know as I'm known.

Here where the greatest blessing is wanting Here where desire is a place for my haunting I will hold loosely and I will go free Sure my possessions do not possess me Sure my possessions do not possess me.

Wood hay and stubble do not withstand fire To build with them is not what I would desire For fires are promised to all those God holds To clean, purify and refine us as gold. To clean, purify and refine us as gold

Day Five Valley of Vision 22:01.02

Here in the valley of vision Life is a test and a trust. May we reflect Christ here on this earth Though our frail frames are but dust.

Here in the valley of vision I may partake of His grace Lord, I would also dispense it While I am here in this place.

Here in the valley the mountains rise up And over them I may not see But I have a window into my Lord's view And he is not bound by limits like me

Trials, temptations and troubles A different design surely make When they are viewed from God's viewpoint When they're seen for His name's sake.

Here in the valley of vision Time has a season and goal All is fulfilled in God's purpose Seen in the light of the whole.

Lord in this valley of vision In the light of the unseen We live and move and our beings prove To mean more than we know we mean.

Day Four Made to Last 21:01.02

We were made to last forever- everlasting Created to endure God's seasons of change Made to persist through trials and through trusts When the earth melts away we shall remain

We were made to last beyond eons Made to mean more than mere time can enfold We were formed with eternity in our hearts And the ages shall not pass until the story's told.

We'll not make our last stand in our Jesus Though we pray our last prayer on this earth We'll make all our songs sound this refrain When we come to find life's reason and it's worth

We were made to last forever In His presence or out in the night Forever separated from His mercies Or forever dwelling in His Holy light.

All is bound up in our maker-redeemer A new beginning's in His final call We are made to last beyond the limits of this mortal vale So be joined with Him who is our all in all!

Wov'n into the fabric of God's eternity Mere glimpses in shadow shall become what we'll see Where we walked by faith will one day be made sight Where we once groaned our spirits speak outright.

Eternal Immortal, Ancient of Days Everlasting, enduring receiver of praise Ongoing, ne'er ending ever spoken word Beyond the generations our voices shall be heard

We were made to last forever In His presence or out in the night Forever separated from His mercies Or forever dwelling in His Holy light.

Day Three SoulDriver 20:01.02

Lord drive me from the temple of my impoverished desires With a goad constructed from your mercy's cords. Drive out the den of thieves that do their bidding in my heart And teach me now of treasure greater than the world's rewards.

All that moves me, Jesus, all that drives my desires I'll give it up to see you in control. Let all that moves me, Jesus, be all your grace requires I want you for the captain of my soul. Souldriver I want you for the captain of my soul.

Your mighty power can do beyond all that we think or ask Your mighty power accomplishes our most miraculous task The wood, the hay and stubble on which we've come to rely Replace them with the gold refined in fires that purify!

All that moves me, Jesus, all that drives my desires I'll give it up to see you in control. Let all that moves me, Jesus, be all your grace requires I want you for the captain of my soul. All that moves me, Jesus, all that drives my desires I'll give it up to see you in control. Let all that moves me, Jesus, be all your grace requires I want you for the captain of my soul. Souldriver I want you for the captain of my soul.

Day Two No Accident 19:01.02

Part of a purpose, part of a plan A triune conspiracy majestic and grand For this purpose and this end The Glory of God was revealed to men

In the secret place where you were formed Knit by his hand and by His breath warmed Before you were born He had you in mind To the praise of His glory he marked out our time

Not by chance Not by happenstance Uniquely created we join in the dance A measure of faith given to every one He has been pleased now to call us his own. No accident, no accident So live for the purpose for which we are meant. All that you are is heaven sent Beloved one, you are no accident.

And he is the reason we live move and breathe The reason you are and your reason to be Your time and your place, your calling, your face We're uniquely crafted by the giver of grace.

Not by chance Not by happenstance Uniquely created we join in the dance A measure of faith given to every one He has been pleased now to call us his own No accident, no accident So live for the purpose for which we are meant. All that you are is heaven sent Beloved you are no accident.

Day One Soli Deo Gloria 18:01.02

Not to us, oh Lord But to thy name bring glory Make of us a mirror Lord Reflecting your Glory It all starts with You And it all ends with you All things are in and of and to you. By you and for you and through you Soli Deo Gloria Our praise is to you alone Soli Deo Gloria We worship before your throne!

The preeminence and priority Sovereignty and supremacy Alpha - Omega, the first and last In eternity future and eternity past Soli Deo Gloria Our praise is to you alone Soli Deo Gloria We worship before your throne!
